half the challenge is coping with people who think just because its linux i they dont have to provide non-standard libraries with their demos. what comes next? textures are not being included because i could easily do my own with gimp?

Why stop there? Might as well not reveal the specific hardware specs and force people to build their own configuration, stacking failure upon failure until they got the right graphics card and network adapter combination.

We can go on about how deranged things can get within the confines of your imagination, but lay off the cocks and try a book on communication. I'm sure you mean well and all, but calling people cocks because they don't adhere to your jihad standards is just going to make this thread a cockfest.
